Honestly I can’t be mad at the romance dialogue in the prequels for two reasons 1. I love the prequels and choose to overlook their flaws (most of the time) 2. The dialogue between Anakin and Padme is more believable and is a lot better than most of my romantic dialogue in every relationship lol.

[@adrianwagner8202]

I find it annoying that many bash that romance, but don't see how poorly the one with Leia and Han aged. Han doesn't respect her boundaries, constantly berates her and the constant bickering isn't charming, it's a huge red flag for an unhealthy relationship. Many creeps took inspiration from this kind of flirting and many women I know find this intrusive behaviour uncomfortable.

My college's wind orchestra conductor pointed out that Rey's theme reflects the way she walks. her steps are always light, never heavy, almost athletic or cat-like in that regard. in that sense, her theme is never overly bombastic or heavy. it has light instrumentation, staccato beats, and an overall light and jumpy tone without being explicitly uplifting.

[@aldeayeah]

It's the desert mouse theme. Could be Muad'Dib's theme in a Dune adaptation hehehe.

[@pkducklett944]

Across the Stars is such a wonderful theme. It perfectly tells the love story between Padme and Anakin, from their unlikely meeting to eventual betrayal and heartbreaking death. I love the swells and the more sinister bits are like the darkness creeping into their otherwise perfect romance. When we get to the ritardando near the end, it becomes musically clear that Padme is going to die of heartbreak. I just love how Williams managed to tell an entire love story over the course of one theme but damn it hits everytime for me.

Fun fact: The music for the duel between Maul and Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon is called Duel of the Fates because that battle was actually the point that defined the future of the galaxy. If Qui-Gon had lived, Anakin would not have fallen to the dark side because Qui-Gon was the best teacher Anakin could have gotten, and would have been able to help Anakin with his feelings.

[@nosher0267]

They're both wrong, actually. "Binary Sunset," or whatever you want to call it, is actually (as I see it) the Hero's Journey Theme for ANH. Since ANH was originally just "Star Wars" and it was likely going to be a standalone movie, Williams needed a way to convey Luke's journey throughout the movie. If you think about it that way, the music makes so much more sense in the context of both the Binary Sunset scene and the Throne Room scene: the former represents Luke's longing for adventure and the unknown world, and the latter represents Luke's triumphant return to the known world. It even shows up in other pivotal points for the Hero's Journey, such as Obi-Wan's (the "mentor's") introduction and "the abyss" where every other ship has been destroyed in the trench run and there are more seconds before the Death Star blows ups the Rebel Base. I really don't understand why nobody else sees this.

[@theenchanter8762]

I think it is the Force theme, not necessarily a “Hero’s Journey Theme”

[@theenchanter8762]

Even if the movie was made to be standalone, the Force plays a role throughout the film. It plays when Obi Wan is introduced because he is a Force wielder, an agent of the Force. Much like “Vader’s Theme” is really the Imperial March, but is heard when Vader is on the screen because he is an agent of the Empire. One could argue that the Force theme could also play for Vader, but it could also be said that Vader’s allegiance to the Empire outweighs his use of the Force. As for why the Force theme plays during the trench run, that’s because Obi Wan speaks to Luke through the Force and because Luke uses the Force to help guide the proton torpedoes. The reason it plays during the binary sunset theme is because Luke is considering the consequences of leaving Tatooine, and the Force helps guide Luke down the path that will eventually restore balance to the Force (kind of). That said, I see how it could be thought of as a “Hero’s Journey Theme”, both ideas work.

[@Sawngawkuh]

@@nosher0267 He's not wrong. The original intent in annotations for the score state that it was to serve as Obi-Wan's theme. Then it evolved into the general Force theme.

Clap and cheer plz" every 10 minutes or so, without anything new of substance, that I hate it It's not as flawed in how it's written in a vacuum like some other scores outside of Star Wars, but it's so pathetic in how it's used (likely the fault of the director, JJ Abrams) that it's possibly one of my least favorite soundtracks in any movie And that sucks to say cause I don't hate the sequels

You want to know something else? Kylo's theme is the last four notes of Palpatine's. In a sense, Rey's theme opening with Palpatine foreshadows her origin, while Kylo's theme being the ending of Palpatine's theme symbolizes his desire to preserve the last remnants of the Empire

Symphony No. 23 in D Major (2019).

[@mikeor-]

John Williams scored Valley of the Dolls back in 1965, with his very first symphony. Ever after, he was known as "Johnny Williams" in Hollywood. However, since Johnny Williams is the name of an actor from the 1980's, John Williams rejected his nickname. Williams scored every single film by Steven Spielberg with only two exceptions, the Color Purple (1985) and the Post (2017). John Williams also wrote the incidental music in Spielberg's remake of West Side Story, even though much of the music was written by Leonard Bernstein.

Duel of the Fates "while Anakin is riding on his speeder on Tatooine just like how we meet Darth Maul" is completely missing the point. He's racing to save his mother, he's trying to save someone he loves despite being told to let go. What leads him to the Dark path in the end? The same exact thing. His mother warns him in TPM "You can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting" and what's happening in the background as he races to save her? The suns setting. Duel of the Fates is about Anakin losing his family, first his father figure Qui-Gon, then his mother Shmi, then his brother Obi-Wan. These losses shift the destiny of the entire galaxy forever. And directly leading up to each loss, a version of Duel of the Fates plays.

[@Shizilol]

Duel of the Fates is about, Fates. Qui Gon Vs Maul was a Fate between Anakin’s fate. If Qui Gon beats Maul, light side wins, if Maul kills Qui Gon, Anakin will slowly drifts to the dark side. Same with his mother. If Anakin saves his mother alive, he stays in the light side. But if his mother dies, he goes deeper in the dark.

This video ranking is preatty good, but I think all sequals movies should be last, because the movie story is copy from orginals and there is no new great music themes, because they did not put that much effort into it, when the story of the movies were also going to be shite.

14:02 Imagine how great Rey as a protagonist could have been: Her growing up on a sand planet, even though not on Tatooine, but still, on a sand planet like our previous two protagonists. And her musical theme having this wonderful leitmotif connection to Palpatine‘s theme and thus himself. Story-wise there is so much in this to use for a general trilogy outline for the character. The fact that she comes from a desert planet but not the one like our other two main characters, showing how she is important for the balance of the force, despite not being a skywalker by blood and still being closely tied to them by being some sort of offspring of palpatine. I like to think that despite her being his offspring that he won’t appear in the sequels and the main antagonists could/ would be Kylo, where there was also much potential to tie Rey and him together because of HIS connection to the skywalkers, and again some sort of leader like Snoke or Hux were but them pulling the strings on Kylo because he is estranged from his parents. I really like the idea of a Kylo/Skywalker like Ben solo who is the antagonist and someone else who‘s not Skywalker by blood being the counterpart to that, it really shifts the tone while organically changing up the character connections we had in previous trilogies. The concept that Ben struggles with his inheritance to the point where he leaves his parents and Luke behind to turn to the dark side is so cool as a parallel to Anakin‘s Downfall and it would also be a good opportunity to tell more story with Luke but this time in a mentor role where he has still room to improve after having failed Kylo after the Victory in Ep. 6. The revelation that an (ancient) sith is actually controlling everything like in Episode 9‘s version from Trevorrow is also not a bad idea and solely with all this you have a great outline for your trilogy.

Unrelated, but when I was younger I couldn't fathom the fact that Episode I came after Episode IV V and VI.

I was in high school when the prequels came out. My best friend did not understand the timeline. They thought that Leia and Padme, and Luke and Anakin were the same characters, but played by different actors. Their reasoning was because they owned the same robots so they must be the same characters.

[@Smashomon8004]

I do love how the finale of the three Star Wars trilogies are ranked as 1st, 2nd and last.

Still tryna figure out how Williams didn't get a nomination for Revenge of the Sith. HOOOOWWW?!

[@throwbackthursday680]

It is not that hard to tell. The critics didn’t like it, so they did not nominate it. Stupid critics.

[@TheNMan64]

I think there's a rule about original music needing to be at least 70% or 80% of the film's total score. As good as it is, there are a ton of reused score segments from previous Star Wars films that kept it from getting nominated.

Leave nomination he should have won an Oscar

[@MrAsh1100]

@@TheNMan64 to be honest, its sometimes a shitty rule depending on the movie.

[@uranium54321]

But didn’t they mention that rule was made because Rise of Skywalker got nominated?
